Elders In The Family Comments

A wonderful poem, written with sensitivity and compassion for the struggles of the elderly.

You have well captured the present situation of families where parents are left alone due to ignorance attitude of their sons and grandsons or for job in distant countries. Touchingly delineated. Beautiful poem.

your poem beautifully describes the perils of nuclear family system.

It is really heart wrenching to see parents and grandparents are neglected by their progene and there are several factors like: Job opportunity, Career, Life style, Money etc etc... At least Covid19, to some extent, helped to bridge the gap and recreate bonding. A very thoughtful poem.10+

Gone are those days when every family used to live jointly with elders taking care of young ones and the family consists of not less than 10 members, now you hardly see a family with more than 5 members. Husband, wife and 2 to 3 kids maximum. This is the reason why the concept of Old Age Home came into existence. -Cont-

the last phase of life and indifference of nearest ones..affect family values as known earlier//value laden piece

Nothing is the same now. Nuclear families has killed the essence of joint families. Elders are left alone which is heart wrenching. Life has become tough for all the generations. Very very nice poem Rajnish jii. Your keen eye on social problems is amazing.10++.

It is indeed true that parents are always safe for children and they make better plans for children and their lifestyles. Maybe we want to tell the children how to live life alone Thankyou for sharing such a beautiful and heart touching poem
